We would love to check in with the New York Field Office and watch the next cases throughout the holiday season. Sadly, there are no more new episodes of FBI season 7 in 2024.
The show is now on its winter break. This is very standard, but it means that we’ll need to turn to Paramount+ to rewatch favorite episodes or play catch up if you got behind. There are a few reruns here and there on the network, but it’ll be 2025 when we get new episodes.
When will FBI season 7 return with new episodes on CBS?
The next new episode won’t air until Tuesday, Jan. 28. Yes, this is a lengthy break. While a lot of broadcast shows are coming back in early or mid January, CBS opted to push the winter finales to later in December instead of in November or early December, so the break is about the same length as the other networks; it just doesn’t feel like it.
FBI season 7 will continue to kick off a night full of drama from the various federal agent teams, airing at 8 p.m. ET/PT each week.
Of course, we don’t have details for the episode just yet. That’s not surprising with such a long break.
Why is FBI on such a long break?
The lengthy winter break is very normal. This is two-fold, with the first reason being linked to scheduling needs. The cast and crew take time off production this time of year, which means that there aren’t many episodes banked to air. If the networks aired the episodes throughout Christmas, we’d need to see a length break in January or February.
It makes more sense to have the break this time of year. People head out with friends, or they choose to watch movies with their families. They don’t want to put on regular TV, and it leads to the linear ratings taking a dip. This could be dangerous for shows, so the networks opt to take a break now to make sure there are still some episodes for the new year and there isn’t a risk of low ratings.
FBI season 7 returns with new episodes on Tuesday, Jan. 28 at 8/7c on CBS. Catch up on the series with Paramount+.
